Make enough mole hills, and eventually you will build a mountain.

“Make enough mole hills, and eventually you will build a mountain” is a metaphor that emphasizes the power of small, incremental actions over time. A mole hill is a tiny mound of dirt created by a mole as it digs tunnels underground. On its own, it’s not very impressive or significant. However, the quote suggests that if you accumulate enough of these tiny mounds – or small efforts – they can eventually add up to something as monumental as a mountain.

This idea can be applied in many areas of life such as personal development, career growth, financial planning and more. For instance, in personal development or learning new skills, one might feel overwhelmed by the enormity of what they want to achieve. However, if they break down their goal into smaller tasks (mole hills) and consistently work on them over time (making more mole hills), they would eventually reach their larger goal (the mountain).

In today’s fast-paced world where instant gratification is often sought after, this quote serves as an important reminder that significant achievements are usually the result of consistent effort over time rather than sudden leaps forward.

For example in business context: If you’re starting your own company it might seem like an insurmountable task at first but if you break it down into smaller tasks: developing your product/service concept; researching your market; building your team; seeking funding etc., each step gets you closer to launching your successful business.

Similarly with saving money: It may seem impossible to save large amounts but even saving small amounts regularly adds up over time due to compound interest effect.

So all in all this quote encourages us not to despise humble beginnings or underestimate the value of consistent efforts no matter how trivial they may appear at first because when compounded over time these ‘mole hills’ could well turn into ‘mountains’.
